The Omega Beta 21 is a significant piece of horological history, representing Omega’s early foray into quartz technology. Released in the early 1970s, it was powered by the revolutionary Beta 21 movement, one of the first quartz calibers ever developed, which was the result of a collaborative effort among several Swiss watchmakers to compete in the quartz revolution.

The 41mm stainless steel case gives the watch a bold, futuristic aesthetic typical of 1970s design. Its dial features an elegant combination of applied indices and luminous hands, providing excellent legibility. Known for its precision, the Beta 21 movement offered an incredible level of accuracy compared to its mechanical counterparts of the time.

This watch is a true collector’s piece, not only for its historical significance as one of the first quartz watches but also for its unique and avant-garde design. The Omega Beta 21 stands as a symbol of innovation and marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of watchmaking.

Omega

Founded in 1848 by Louis Brandt in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, Omega has grown to become one of the most renowned and respected names in the world of horology. In 1894, Omega revolutionized watchmaking with the introduction of the 19-ligne "Omega" caliber, known for its groundbreaking precision and ease of repair. This innovation marked a turning point for the company, which was soon renamed "Omega" in recognition of the caliber's success.

Omega's reputation for accuracy was further solidified when it became the official timekeeper of the Olympic Games in 1932, a role it still holds today. The brand’s dedication to precision was also demonstrated in 1969, when the Omega Speedmaster became the first watch worn on the Moon during NASA's Apollo 11 mission. Over the decades, Omega has introduced iconic collections such as the Seamaster, Speedmaster, and Constellation, blending cutting-edge technology with elegant design. Omega watches are not only known for their technical excellence but also for their association with explorers, athletes, and adventurers who push the limits of human achievement.
